On July 2, it was announced that Greta Gerwig, the beloved actress/director behind Lady Bird, Little Women, and the upcoming Barbie is set to direct at least two Chronicles of Narnia movies for Netflix.

Others, however, greeted the announcement with the abject despair of Charlton Heston falling to his knees on the beach at the end of Planet of the Apes.
